PRE-RECRUITMENT COACHING CLASS TO RURAL YOUTH INCLUDING

The Directorate of Ex-Servicemen’s Welfare desired that pre-recruitment training
classes may be conducted for the benefit of the unemployed youth of our State
including dependents of Ex- Servicemen.

30
It has been observed that even though there have been overwhelming response
to recruitment in the Armed Forces on various rallies conducted by the Branch
Recruiting Officers, the final results after the written examination is very poor. It is
because, the Question papers are set in English and Hindi only, and the boys
find it difficult to interpret.
The Directorate of Ex-Servicemen’s Welfare has decided to run a free pre
recruitment training to the boys who have been selected physically and
medically, as a pilot programme to start with, and this training will be conducted
in Chennai, for the rally which has been just concluded at Vellore, and in
Tiruchirapalli, where the rally was held in the first week of August at
Nagapattinam and so on.
We have been able to come this far, after having had detailed discussions
with the Zonal Recruiting Officer and his Branch Recruiting Officers of Tamil
Nadu, Viz., at Chennai, Tiruchirapalli and Coimbatore.
The Government of Tamil Nadu has allocated Rs.27.76 lakhs for the year
2005 – 06 to coach 850 boys selected for the written test by the Branch
Recruiting Officers.
